Abstract: A data input device having an arrangement of deformable layers including at least a dielectric material above a resistive layer. The material is elastically deformable so that, when pressure is applied to an input surface, the distance between the input surface and the resistive layer is reduced at the pressure point. An electrode which is preferably in the form of a conductive layer is arranged on the side of the deformable layer facing away from the resistive layer. Thus results in a change of the capacitive properties of the deformable layer at the pressure point, since the thickness of the deformable layer is reduced at the pressure point. This capacitive measurement is used for detection of the pressing force, while the position of the pressing point on the input surface is detected in two mutually orthogonal directions on the basis of the voltage divider forming in the resistive layer arrangement.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE92/00815 Sec. 371 Date May 9, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date May 9, 1994 PCT Filed Nov. 26, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO93/10902 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 10, 1993.The present invention relates to a method for controlling, in an electrostatic precipitator unit comprising discharge electrodes and collecting electrodes between which a varying high voltage is maintained, a pulsating direct current supplied to these electrodes. In the method according to the invention the frequency, pulse charge and/or pulse duration of the pulsating direct current are caused to vary such that a plurality of combinations of frequency, charge and duration are obtained. For each of these combinations, the voltage U between discharge electrodes and collecting electrodes is measured, and for each of these combinations, a voltage level Uref is determined, measured or calculated. In a defined time interval, for each of these combinations, either the integral Ik= INTEGRAL Ux(U-Uref).dt is measured and/or calculated during the time interval, or Ai=Ux(U-Uref) is measured at a number of points of time, whereupon Ik or linear combinations of Ai are used to select the combination of frequency, charge and duration of the pulsating direct current.

Abstract: A device for checking the in-register positioning of a printing plate on the plate cylinder (1) of printing machines has, in the tension rail (3, 4) for receiving this printing plate, measuring sensors, by means of which the in-register position can be detected in the form of electrically interrogatable signals. So that these signals can be interrogated directly by machine control, for example in conjunction with an automatic or manual printing-plate feed, contact faces are mounted in the region of the tension rail. These contact faces are assigned sensing heads (29, 30) which are mounted on the frame movably relative to the plate cylinder and which can be pressed against these very contact faces after a corresponding angular positioning of the plate cylinder. During the introduction of a new printing plate, therefore, an evaluation unit for receiving the signals is connected to the measuring sensors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A computer (21) processes the time between ultrasonic echoes received at a transducer (19) indicative of the outer radius and wall thickness of a workpiece (10) by subtracting (69) the weighted average (80-90) wall thickness from the weighted average outer radius to generate an internal radius for a large number of points around a spiral slice of the workpiece. The internal radii and angles are converted (69) to x and y coordinates. The centroid (X, Y) of each slice of data indicating workpiece cavity internal radii is determined (71) as twice the summation of the x coordinates and twice the summation of the y coordinates of all of the datum points of the slice. The least squares fit (73) of the X coordinates of the centroids of all of the slices and the least squares fit (74) of the Y coordinates of the centroids of all of the slices are then used to determine the average axis of the cavity of the workpiece. The X^¨B7 and Y^¨B7 coordinates of the end points of the average axis of the cavity are then converted (75) to polar coordinates to permit offsetting the end points of the workpiece commensurate amounts, whereby further machining will cause the internal cavity of the workpiece to end up more nearly centrally located, on average.
